0:10 AM Cecile McLorin Salvant “The Gentleman Is A Dope” — The Window

“About thirty seconds into Todd Hunter's new CD, Eat, Drink, Play, I started thinking about this temporal bias of mine. This sounds really, really good, I thought. I easily imagined playing it at trade shows and having attendee after attendee ask me what it was and where they could get it.” [Todd Hunter Trio – Eat, Drink, Play, Marc Phillips, Positive-Feedback]

Taking to the piano at a young age, he went on to study at New York's High School of Performing Arts.

BREAK (Before Last Tune of Show): Blog and Social Media Promo, Jazz 88.3 Speakeasy Replay
